Chapter 83: Wand weighing ceremony

With Snape's instruction, Edwin started to do research on the creatures that are commonly used in the Triwizard tournament, and after each research, Edwin would duel Snape as he asks question about the creature's weakness.

The training while difficult was rewarding for Edwin as he could now list how to defeat most of the commonly used creatures in the tournament in a heartbeat.

"Edwin, I got Rain," Yasbel said holding rain in her arms, Rain had gotten much larger from the time she was bough, she is now as large as a Maine Coon and is still growing" Remember no treats she's watching her weight"

"meow "Rain said looking at Yasbel as if she was insulted at the mention of weight.

"Don't worry I won't give her teats" Edwin said placing Rain on the coffee table" I heard Theodore was looking for you up side"

"what, where is he now" Yasbel quickly asked.

"Last I saw him; he was checking the library," Edwin said and he received a glare from rain.

With Ysabel looking for Theodore, Edwin is mostly alone with Rain" I need a favor" Edwin said looking down at Rain but she didn't pay any mind as she cleaned her paw.

"Please, I'll give you treats…I'll let you hunt, "Edwin said begging Rain, with the mention of the hunt her ears perked up and Edwin knew he got her attention.

"Meow," Said looking at Edwin.

Ignoring the looks, he was getting from everyone else in the four houses common Edwin said" there is someone dangerous coming tomorrow and I'll need you to find her"

With Rain being a pure Kneazle she could understand human speech and could even detect shady persons in their animagus form and Rita seeker being a shady person would be an understatement, with Rain help Edwin can easily find and use Rita to his advantage.

The next day Edwin put on one of his fancy robes and comb his hair neatly for the wand weighting and the Daily Prophet interview, Edwin could say he was waiting just for the interview.

Edwin followed by Rain made their way to the room where the wand weighting is being held, "Rain stay here and look for her" Edwin said as he opened the door entering the room where everyone else was already there waiting.

"Edwin" Dumbledore called out showing where he would have to stand.

Each champion is now standing in front of their headmaster/headmistress" let's take a picture" Rita said as her partner took the picture.

"Pretty exciting," Edwin said glancing over to Fleur and Viktor, Fleur didn't bother to look at Edwin and kept her face straight ahead.

"it's for the first time then it's just annoying, "Viktor said with a sigh.

"Quite there ready for the wand weighing" Igor hissed at Viktor and Edwin.

Garrick Ollivander enters the room well dress, after giving the usual greetings the wand weighing started" Ladies first" Ollivander said with a cheery tone as he collected Fleur wand and began to examine it.

"Yes, nine and a half inches…inflexible…rosewood…and containing… dear me" Ollivander said as he runs his hand across the wand.

"An 'air from ze 'ead of a veela. One of my grandmuzzer's" Fleur answer for Ollivander.

"let's see" Ollivander said as he used her wand to create water and summon a bouquet of colorful flowers" there isn't a problem," Ollivander said with a slight surprise which caused Fleur to frown.

"ten inches and quarter.... thicker than usual… hornbeam… rigid and containing Dragon heartstring "Ollivander said then test the wand to see if it was usual.

"Yew 13 inches' dragon heartstring… unyielding… Right" Ollivander said remembering Edwin's wand exactly "let's see the wand… you have been taken good care of the wand with a daily…no weakly polish"

Edwin was still surprised that Ollivander could remember his wand to the exact detail and even know the amount of time he polishes it after the wand weighting Rita started to interview the champions, Viktor who is used to reports quickly answer her questions and left.

"Let's hear it from Hogwarts Champion. You're the youngest here do you think you still have a chance against Viktor the seeker from Bulgaria or the half veela from Beauxbaton" Rita quickly as Edwin as he was about leaving.

" Can we do the interview later" Edwin stated as he walked out of the room to gain Rita attention when he looked back he saw Fleur not too far behind." You answered that fast "Edwin stated.

"yes "Fleur blankly replied and walked away from Edwin,

Fleur actions left Edwin surprise as they were familiar with each other, they couldn't call each other friends but they are rather friendly to each other

Edwin could figure what happens with Fleur and wasn't too worried as he had more important at hand, "Rain be on the lookout" Edwin said as started to wonder around the castle talking to whoever wanted to know anything about the tournament or the four houses as it was known that Edwin is the founder.

"Meow" Rain called out behind Edwin as he approached Fred and George, "what are you two looking for," Edwin asked

"Ludo Bagman" Fred hissed.

"He still owes us and refused to pay" George continues and Rain meows grew more which means that Rita was getting closer.

"I got an idea" Edwin stated "meet me in the chamber late… tell everyone else there is something important"

"sure" Fred and George answered in sync" but why don't we go there now"

"I'm preparing the thing for the Triwizard tournament" Edwin whispered to the twins then walked away.

"Meow "Rain called out before turning away, Edwin behaved suspiciously making sure that no one was following him at each chance he got even making some roundabout

"Finally, "Edwin said as he arrived at an empty classroom," Let's begin," Edwin said as he puts his hands on a desk pretending to do something important.

A water beetle flew onto the desk and Edwin immediately took out his wand turning Rita Skeeter back into her human form, an attentive short blond hair woman wearing glasses appeared on the desk.

" Hello there," Edwin said with a smile looking Rita in her eyes.
